Overview
This course is designed for both property and real estate investment practitioners, and graduates in related fields who wish to extend their qualifications and expertise in property development and investment. Graduates have a commitment to professionalism in the property and real estate investment sectors.
This course is for property and investment professionals who want to upgrade their qualifications or expertise or for those who wish to enter the property and real estate investment industries. In the first year students develop an understanding of how to balance private and public interests in urban development, how to evaluate real estate assets, and how to assess development feasibility.
Course aims
At UTS, students gain a broad understanding of the property development cycle in a team-based learning environment, enabling students to move beyond niche disciplines into broader management level positions or work with clients in new ways. Advanced coursework in risk analysis, property markets, and large-scale development projects prepare students to deal with broader issues in the property industry.
This combined degree also deals in depth with investment vehicles, capital markets, financial management, and the underlying drivers of property values. Specialised subjects investigate the investment considerations associated with retail, office, and other commercial assets. Real estate investment trusts and funds management are covered in depth in separate subjects.
